Who creates my SSO?
Creation and ownership of your SSO is managed centrally by the University of Oxford thorough a department called IT Services.
Where can I get help with my SSO?
Contact the college IT Staff during the working week. For out of hours support, please contact IT Services directly via email to help@it.ox.ac.uk or calling 01865 612345.
What is MFA?
The University is implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all Oxford Single Sign-On (SSO) users across the University. This means you will be asked to verify your account using a second factor, such as a code from an app on your phone, text message, or a phone call.
You can verify your account using any of the following methods:
- Using the Microsoft authenticator app on your mobile phone
- Receiving an SMS on your mobile phone
- Requesting a phone call on a landline or mobile phone
- Authy desktop authenticator app
- Using a hardware token
For more information on MFA and how to set it up, please check the University's central MFA portal.
